GTAV vs GTA San Andreas | Direct Comparison

- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- A graphic and gameplay comparison of the two most popular entries in the GTA series, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
I am currently working on a full documentary on the Grand Theft Auto series and found some fascinating similarities between San Andreas & GTAV that I wanted to share. It's interesting just how many features have eventually found their way into GTAV by means of GTAOnline's nonstop updates.
While this video does focus on visuals quite a bit (as does every video in this "Direct Comparison" series) I also wanted to spend time comparing all of the features and gameplay mechanics, to demonstrate how the series has evolved over the years.
Stay tuned for the full documentary in the coming weeks!

Crazy how ~20 years later, San Andreas is still talked about so often. *Legend* 👑
ayeee!
Yea bro gta never gets old
Your videos are awesome
Yes
Same thing is gonna happen to RDR2
I love how the most recent entry is still about 8 years old
Sure, but Rockstar also just released a massive game 3 years ago.
@@1Matik_
Yeah, but these gamers want this one company to work on two hundreds millions dollar games at the same time, PLUS do Bully 2 and LA Noir 2 somehow...
@@Indigo_1001 Rockstar has 9 subsidiaries. The studio that made RDR2 is Rockstar San Diego while the main developer of GTA is Rockstar North. They are capable of making more than 2 games per decade

Yea but I bet someone bought a Shark Card less than 1 minute ago..
Crazy what SA had done for its tine
Yeah I hope Everywhere would be Revolutionary, It is made by the guy who made San Andreas
Mafia were way ahead in thier time
@L not really. Half Life 2 came out the same year - and graphics still hold up today. But what matters about SA is how HUGE it was for it's time - map with 3 cities, and countless activities to do.
@L there is no Half Life 2 for mobile. By still holds up - i meant Half Life 2. That game still looks pretty good today and it's almost 17
@L graphics were the only thing gta sa didnt have as advanced back then. Because there was max payne 2 in 2003 and hl2 in 2004. But for an open world it sure was great graphically
Still impressed at the amount of side content San Andreas had compared to GTA V
GTA V has more missions and more side missions so I'm not really sure what point you trying to make?
@@_Super_Hans_ No actually San Andreas has 100 missions exactly and Gta V has 79. Though i get it you may think it was longer because it was a less exciting story than San Andreas.
@@cheesecakebeast5052 yes but GTA 5 missions are longer so the play through length is the same as San Andreas
@@cheesecakebeast5052 and that’s just about story missions
@@DavidHernandez-kl5lu it isn't but okay
For people who don't know GTA San Andreas multiplayer is still alive and huge. The 2 main 3rd party multiplayer engines SAMP and MTA have combined total of 80-120k players on the regular which is just insane for a game from 2004.
It doesn't have multiplayer
@@namirreza8950 it has unofficially.
@@namirreza8950 it has
I played gta samp 8 years ago i was an admin on server and had a lot of online friends, those were some of my most fun times
It does have co-op there was a secret spot you could go to and play with someone but you both share the same screen
San Andreas STILL feels like a massive game. It's quite amazing really...a real credit to Rockstar.
It's great except for the gameplay and the game not being cinematic enough for me
@@ashrafhaider598 well its old. Which is why the game feeling massive compared to today's standards is a good achievement by rockstar. While it being not cinematic is normal as old games were that way
Yup in gta 5 the map feels small cause there's only los Santos and then nothing else in the back of the map it feels so empty but with san andreas we have 3 cities to explore and the forest and desert too that's why it feels so big it's more diverse and I like that
@@rogueraccoon1840 GTA 5 should've included San Fierro and Las Venturas too, at least one of them, instead of just 90% being nothing but mountains, deserts and some few small towns.
@soham dessai you idiot. You obviously haven't put any significant time into San Andreas.
The euphoria ragdoll engine was amazing in GTAIV - it felt free and not scripted - compared to GTAV.
And?
@@ImKent It was good and fun.
@Imsuredont Ask me It was more realistic.
best physics eever in a video game
Lol, trolls everywhere I guess
The water in gta 5 still looks so good 7/8 years later.
GTA V still looks good overall
@@PyroFTB Yes i agree.
In Online, it definitely shows its age.
@@StewHeisenberg I never played gta online like that because it's just not my cup of tea but i do see plenty of videos of the online mode and i do agree the graphics does looks dated by today's standards which probably might be the reason it's getting another rerelease again so they can make the graphics look good by today's standards compared to the 8 year old graphics it has.
That's one of the greatest things about GTA 5 when I first saw it 7 years ago, I was literally blown away. Now 7 years later, it's still the best looking ocean.
0:12 "The most recent entries GTA V..."
😔
Both Elder Scrolls and GTA have been my favorite video game franchises and both have not had a sequel for almost 10 years (skyrim is turning 10 this year 😪)
That being said i am more worried about Elder Scrolls VI than GTA VI because... well its rockstar... but Bethesda tho😬
@@ByrgenworthGraduate don't worry ,it will a new experience
@@ByrgenworthGraduate gta vi will come out soon rockstar is takin to much time cuz they want to make that world so detailed just like RDR2's world This is how Rockstar works
@@ByrgenworthGraduate laughs in Doom eternal
@@YavuzHavuz dude, the PS2 alone, had like five GTA games. They just take forever now because they make more than enough money off microtransactions
It has nearly been the same amount of time between San Andreas and GTA V’s releases, and GTA V’s release and now
Absolutely crazy to think about that thanks for making me feel old😂
That's actually insane. Like man.
There is a 9 year gap between GTA San Andreas release and GTA 5 release, and also a 9 year gap between GTA 5 release and GTA 5 release. If you know what I mean
no offense but cyberpunk 2077 is way better than gta defective edition,Bcoz cyberpunk 2077 at least has great graphics and realistic textures unlike defective edition where not only does it have bugs but also the graphics sucks. Plus in cyberpunk 2077 they tried to make a good game
I would love to have the skill progression from san andreas back
Well in RDR2 it's actually been put in there cause the more you use a weapon then the more familiar your character gets with it and they can reload and shoot faster with it
@@rogueraccoon1840 yes but what I also mean is the change of your physic like getting fat from eating to many burgers and rdr2 doesn't have that
@@terry2295 yes it does if you eat too much you get fat the same way as in gta san Andreas but there's actually effects to being fat like you take less damage from bullets but are slower at running and if you're skinny you can run really fast but can't take that much damage
@@rogueraccoon1840 mhhh I never did
@Jefferson Lopez yeah true but still I loved that they brought it back and it also works in the online mode
I still prefer San Amdreas a bit more because of 2 key areas: the open world and it's activities, the soundtrack. I'm not saying that GTA V lacks in open world activities, it actually has pretty much the same ammount as San Andreas, but it's just that the open world activities of San andreas were more fun. The soundtrack is mainly subjective, I think GTA V's soundtrack actually fits the game's time period, setting and theme and I wouldn't change it, but I just prefer San Andreas' music.
But I ain' gonna lie, for me GTA V was still a mindblowing game, it didn't disappoint me and I think it improved upon almost everything from San Andreas except for those 2 key areas. All GTA games were mindblowing for me, mainly because of how technically advanced each of them were at their times, how much attention to detail is put into them, how all of them feel ahead of their time. I don't think anyone can do better open worlds than Rockstar.
We need to start a WORLDWIDE petition for the everloving REMASTER/REMAKE of GTA:San Andreas.
Other games in the series is a bastard then I guess?
Gta 1, 2, London, 3, vc, vcs and lcs you can go. These fake fans don't care about you.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 I can understand GTA 3, VC, but 1,2? u serious? 🤣

@@holysinner96 Remake moron REMAKE. They can remake gta 1 and 2. R-E-M-A-K-E understand?

I haven't watched this yet nor thought about it, but I have a feeling this will be my fav video you've made so far.
been waitin a long time for this
Tbh for the 3D era I felt San Andreas was pretty realistic, or at least pretty precise and detailed. Hitting a corner at very high speed should make you flip over in theory. It was fun having the LVPD cop cars hit a rock in the desert and veer off while chasing me. Also each car genuinely felt unique, with slow cars taking forever to go uphill, and some sports cars having terrible handling, and then Japanese cars like the Sultan having gorilla grip tires that let me drift through town. The only thing that really annoyed me was lack of traffic and smooth traffic behavior, and lack of weight to the cars. It felt so unreal to crash. GTA 5 is very cartoony with driving in a similar way that you can easily corner at high speeds I find, however at least cars finally have weight to them, and there's no feeling sweeter than skirting off quick in an SUV on the dirt in GTA V and feeling your controller rumble. It's so smooth and real
Great comparison, you forgot the 3 different fighting styles in GTA than can be learned in each gym in the three cities.
You've earned a like from me yet again . I was so disappointed when the video got over so early .

Rockstar have always been so far ahead of their peers. It's kind of crazy just how superior Rockstar's worlds are to every other game's, especially GTA V and RDR2.

I never thought u were going to do this video but thanks a lot 😁
I’m so happy that you mentioned that San Andreas FEELS bigger than GTA V. I think that’s the most impressive thing about that game with respect to the new one.
GTA San Andreas is my favorite video game ever. I have spent thousands of hours on it, many more than any other game. I have finished it more than 10 times. I will never regret it!
I downloaded it on my phone like 2 years ago and some how i never finished it
Damn it's prolly the first time since you did a GTA comparison. I taught you never liked the series or smth like that they couldn't be compared, but guess I was proved wrong now!
Super excited about the History of GTA. Definitely going to give that a full watch. Thank you so much for what you do Nick!
Ah..the comparison I always wanted to see!
Still impressed how good san andreas sounds after all these years
Nostalgic sounds of beauty
Yo this close to launch? You are a machine
Keep it up man i am hyped for the new vid🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One personal gripe of mine that a lot of videos like this seem to miss is that in Grand Theft Auto V - even though it was released nearly 8 years ago - still has extremely compressed audio files. Granted, I know compression helps when dealing with game size, if you ever get a chance to look at things like the phone call voice lines in the game's files, they're compressed (which, given that they're supposed to give the idea of an actual phone quality conversation is fair), but things are unnecessarily compressed too, like the actual NPC and character dialogue while you're out and about, and in missions.
Red Dead Redemption 2 has the best story mode I've ever played. The entire game is so seamless.
TLOU,GOW😬?
@@srksharma8199 sir I have played those 2 games also and I think rdr2 is winner, /opinion/
@@srksharma8199 TLoU1 was my favorite game of all time. I beat that game so many times man. Could never platinum it because I would get side tracked into the story.
God of War was very good and how they never used camera transitions is amazing. Ragnarok is my most hyped game currently.
I just think Red Dead Redemption 2 had the best storytelling. You're in this huge world that all feels connected. There are so many characters and events happening. Even when you're at the campfire the story for characters continues. I don't know man I was just more invested in it.
I litteraly bought GTA: SA a few hours ago. Lol
You'll love it.
Enjoy! Trust me, it's gonna be great af
Should I play it?? I always heard it was great but never picked it up. Probably because of the outdated graphics.
@@smurf1578 Yessss defenitely!!
Nice
pls Keep making this kind of video's i love it and keep it up
I’m extremely excited for the History of Grand Theft Auto. GTA is my favorite video game series of all time
I'm not. Not now Leslie Benzies and Dan Houser have left Rockstar. They were 2 of the main men behind it. And how Take Two have filled them with microtransactions. I think GTAs golden years are long gone.
It's a shame youngsters won't be able to appreciate San Andreas like us older folk. At the time it was incredible. How Rockstar fit all of that on one DVD is amazing.
True I finished it 100 percent save
Best feeling every back in 2011
I'm 17 and imo SA is best GTA ever. And i played almost all GTA titles except for advance and GTA 2
Im 15 and completed gta SA last month, its great
Kids play old games, they'll always be available to them one way or another. Take Doom, a nearly 30 year old game that still has an audience of all sorts of ages, making mods, maps and games for it within the source ports. Young people do like old stuff...well, not all of them of course.
@@PolishGod1234 i’ve played those games and every other one
Grove street in GTA SA is similar to the one in GTA 5 if you look closely. But it isn't the same
16:30 one small detail I love about GTA V is that short grass actually flattens beneath your feet. It's hard to see here because of video quality, but it's still really cool to look at.
the video quality is as high as can be.
@@Nick930 maybe it’s just because I’m on 1080p lol
Most awaited comparison
I knew one day this was coming.
No you didn't stop lying
Me too
this is something I didn't expect
Yesss, a documentary, let's gooooooo!!!
Best comparison so far ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can remember that in GTA: SA, the AK47 and M4 had the exact same sound effect. The M4 was a tiny bit faster though. And can’t forget that unrealistic 50 round magazine.
Ak has the extra damage doe doesnt it?
Didn't expect this comparison. Still cool tho ngl, hopefully you'll do some comparison on TDU and TDU2 (unless you already made one)
Very good comparison! However, for a fair graphics comparison, it would be nice to compare these games on the hardware they were originally designed for: Playstation 2 (San Andreas) vs PS3/X360 (GTA 5). In this case, the visual differences will be even higher
Best comparison video 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Grand theft auto V Has its own unique features
Gran Theft Auto San andreas has its own unique features
*conclusion: all games in gta series are legendary*
gta advanced:are you serious? 😂
@@vlamrcisco5838 yesss the story is cool
@@vlamrcisco5838 I mean, it was a nice little callback to the original GTA games.
Imagine a 2004 game still as good as modern games even better than some of them.
It's not that hard. Many old games are still fun, Like Doom.
I thought "must be a slow week" but actually this is a episode that I didn't know I wanted.
What makes this vid even better is the music choice which is we were set up or if you didnt know the name it plays during gta 5s long stretch mission
Thank you Nick960

@@generalgrievous9947 funny boah
I would say rolling while crouched more than makes up for the fact that you can't take cover in gta san andreas. Also, san andreas generally has more unique missions than gta 5. Gta san andreas utilizes flying and boats more often, which can make the game more fun.
That's a killer thumbnail u got m8
Can you do a saints row 2 vs GTA SA comparison? There’s a lot I know but I wanna hear this level of scrutiny and detail analysis from you. Great vid!
San Andreas was really a head of its time. Never finished GTA V for some reason (neither did I finish SA but I was a kid lol). SA is part of my childhood.

@@Heavy-W-Guy ✌ 4 you my man
I think a part of the main reason for the GTA V hate is because we are 3 generations of systems in on the same tired game, and a lot of people couldn't care less about online play.
San Andreas was impressively innovative, and only 2 years after its predecessor.
GTA V has been milking the same cow for what is now approaching a decade with no added single player content, or sequel even close to arriving.
At this point I don't know if I even care about a GTA 6. Another 10 years focused solely on online content, then I think I'm okay with not caring anymore.
There's a reason why many of the lead writers and creators have left the company.
I was searching for a gta 5 video from you earlier
Excellent comparison but im disappointed you havent used EAX support on gta sa, it truly brings sound to life in old games.
Gta Sa 2004 - Gta 5 2013
This 9 year gap Brings us so much better graphics.
Gta 5 2013 - Gta 6 2022
Another 9 year gap and Imagine graphics of GTA 6.
As good as GTA the trilogy definitive edition because rockstar is gunna hire EA or something to make the game.

Finally a GTA VIDEO
3/21/21
I was waiting for him to compare GTAV, he should compare it again to other more recent games, I’d watch those videos
I prefer GTA 5 over GTA SA. The physics, graphics, details and atmosphere of a game are what make a game fun for me, while I definitely did have fun playing GTA SA, It was nowhere near the fun i had while playing GTA 5
See this is a comment I like. Even though I disagree with your statement, you don’t say “GTA SA SUCKS”. You say “I like GTA SA, but I prefer GTA V.” Have a great day.
@@CacoTom GTA V wins in all areas and you're too deluded to see it
Great video! I really didn't like the weapons sound effects in GTA SA, it sounds really weird. In the other hand, GTA V very fun to play but the fact the map is open completely right after the first mission not exciting me to finish the story. In the old games you had to make some progression to unlock new areas, and that's what driven me to beat the old games.
I liked this video so much I let a 5 minute ad play afterwards
A lot of the "downsides" of SA can be fixed with mods. There's plenty of texture and model upgrade mods, plenty of ENB mods that add modern post processing like SSAO, depth of field, etc. There's even a really good ragdoll physics mod
I think the exercise routine should be a good thing to add
It's sad that both of these games have more physics and logic than Cyberpunk 2077.
More like cybertrash 2077 :d
Wow didn't expect that comming.
This is a great video. I had no idea San Andreas was such a fan favorite. I remember coming off of Vice City not liking San Andreas cuz it took WAY more to get 100%. No I play it on iOS and LOVE it. But I still miss playing GTA4 and 5.
How is it possible to not like GTA SA?
@@CacoTom Today, that seems nuts. But at the time, I thought it was unnecessarily and overly complex. This was after Vice City which at the time already felt super complex after the super basic GTA3. These were all milestone games. These days, games don’t hit any new milestones other than graphics improvements.
@@CacoTom GTA V wins in all areas and you're too deluded to see it
@@CacoTom i enjoyed it but gta v is better

Well i found this Gta V enb mod which is incredible for gta sa!
Gameplay features, options, activities ----- GTA SA, no question
Graphics, cinematic experience, voice acting and all the other high budget stuff ---- GTA V
My favorite ----- GTA SA. Features, tons of content and activities and the variety of them are much more important for me than graphics, realism and whatever this new direction Rockstar is going with.
Man, I feel they both lack in sound design for guns. The series needs that same flare from Vice City and 3 oddly enough, where even pistols felt nice and snappy and shooting in alleyways caused startling echos

GTA V has music from those decades too.
@@Xegethra only in west coast classics they do, you dont hear them legendary songs such as from dust or playback
@Melvin Lopez and how does the 80's and 90's music fit in the 2010 theme of gta v open world? Do you see people wearing clothes of those eras in gta v? Or talking like they did? Missions, nightclubs, shops, radio ads, tv shows, cars, weapons, etcetera.
It would be braking immersion wouldn't it?

nah gta v has legendary soundtracks

Rockstar - King of gaming. Nothing comes close to their games and details. Their games are on another level. FR

Can you make a Grand Theft Auto IV vs. Grand Theft Auto V comparison?
0:14 "the most recent entry"
Sad ain't it
gta vc and gta san andreas are the games that really pioneered the open world gaming genre ...... and i love to play them to this day .....
also there is a sense of nostalgia when you play the games you grew up playing
Technically gta3 did. Vc and sa just built upon gta3's foundation. They all are fantastic games though, just sad that people don't give gta3 the recognition it deserves.
Except aiming in cover, the aiming system in GTA V is copy pasted from IV, when you aim in cover in V it pulls you out, where in IV the player ped will only look at the target until you press "shoot", moving the reticule slightly to left or right (sometimes can be annoying)
You didn’t mention the superior lighting exclusive to the PS2 version of San Andreas, there’s a mod that adds it to the PC version.
But Nothing Beats Sanadreas Radio Stations : K-DST , K-ROSE to name a Few.
Vice city and saints row 2 will bang it .
@@Anonymous-Wolf Yeah Vice City too for sure.
Just finished gta 5 for the 4th time over the years it’s still really good , there’s enough to do outside the story but I seem to remember a lot more back in 2004 with sa on the ps2. Hopefully in the ps5 version they will open up some more shops businesses etc
It was not because of a hardware limitation.
Just sayin' :-)
well gta 5 could have gta online missions but in single player version
While my favourite GTA game is San Andreas, GTA 5 is one of the giants in the open world genre. I daresay this video is one of the best you've ever made.
The trilogy is comin... 💚
We really need a San Andreas Remaster
We need a san andreas remaster to higher graphics but we dont need it to be connected to the HD universe, lots of people think that we want it connected when they see these comments
Each GTA since San Andreas has been a half step, still waiting for a true sequel to the masterpiece
You should consider comparing the x360 version of GTA V with the upcoming Series X version when it releases!
It'd be interesting to see what they polished up!
Well except explosion effects and some shadow improvements there is nothing different
@@gamingandmapping2281 I’m quite disappointed in those new smoke/fire/muzzle flash effects that Rockstar used.
They look alright in screenshots, but the slightest motion reveals how they’re just poorly-implemented 2D sprites.
I’d bet that the people who originally made the first- and second-gen effects left Rockstar ages ago. High turnover and contracting are absolutely destroying the reputation of established AAA studios.
